1-5 volt input

Tobias

I have a 1-5 volt output·pressure transducor, I know that you have to go through a A/D converter what kind of converter am i looking for to display the pressure value in the debug terminal?

Martin Hebel

What range of voltages will you be converting and how many bit ADC? 8? What pressure range?

It's a general line equation, y = mx+b, but without all the values it's a little tougher

Since the stamp doesn't do decimals, and you can't exceed 65,535 in a calc, you have to play with the values a bit.

Tobias,

I've used an LTC1298 12-bit a/d with sensors like that with good success.

Cheers,

My pressure ranges 0 psi to 150 psi with a 1 to 5 volt output. I will consider myself a newbie, Tom, thanks I will research in the LTC1298 12-bit a/d. Hopefully I will receive literature on the hookups so long.

Depending on the ADC, it may be spanned to convert between 0 to 5V instead of the device's output of 1 to 5. Depending how it is configured will change what calculations you need to use. The Process Control text from Parallax has some good discussions on ADC's and the math needed to convert ranges.

Thank-You much! I will research the information and try my best.

Thank-You
